The Seattle International Film Festival have chosen Laura Dern and Chiwetel Ejiofor as their honored guests with Tribute awards for Outstanding Achievement in Acting at the 40th annual Festival (May 15 – June 8, 2014). Both are scheduled to appear at special events featuring screenings of significant examples of their work, award presentations, Q&A sessions, and intimate receptions.
Notes Carl Spence, SIFF’s Artistic Director, “Our Tribute events are major highlights of the Festival. Both of these extraordinary actors have had outstanding careers full of classic, provocative performances, fitting in perfectly with the Festival’s legacy of honoring the greatest talent in contemporary cinema. I am so honored to have Laura Dern and Chiwetel Ejiofor join us this year as part of our 40th anniversary.”
